Your passcode is NEVER displayed ANYWHERE. That’s why it’s called a passcode. If you forgot it follow the instructions in the link provided below. If you can’t recover it you’ll need to contact Apple Support for assistance and you will need to provide the original purchase receipt.


If you forgot the passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is disabled

I assume we are indeed talking about the passcode - the four or six digit number used to lock the device - which is different from the verification code sent to all your devices when you sign into your Apple ID on a new device (or sometimes on an existing one).


In fact if you have forgotten the passcode, which is stored only on the device, it cannot be retrieved and you will have to erase the device, as described in the page linked to in the previous post. Apple cannot help you: they don't know the passcode.
